Supermarkets have issued urgent recalls on items that could cause allergic reactions.
New rules dubbed 'Natasha's Law' require ingredients to be marked clearly on packets.
It follows the death of Natasha Ednan-Laperouse, who had an allergic reaction to a Pret a Manger baguette not clearly marked as containing sesame seeds.
Under the new law all ingredients including potential allergens will need to be clearly marked on all food packaging in the UK from the start of next month.
In response a number of major supermarkets including Tesco, Asda, Aldi, and Morrisons have issued urgent recalls for products that do not have potential allergens marked and have been bought by customers already.
Anyone who has bought any items recalled can return them for a full refund.
